[Cal?]

Wow, never occurred to me to even check Redondo...

 

[Balu]

Surprised no one blocked @Joga Bonito just for fun, most obvious pick ever.

 

[ctp]

@Gio Albert and Grosics should be on the blocked list, too.

Also, who did Snow, MJJ, The Stain go for in round 2?

 

[Chesterlestreet]

He means stage two.

Oe! Am not from India.

@Joga Bonito

and this should be an obvious clue.

 

[Moby]

and this should be an obvious clue.

And hopefully the last one for this draft.

 

[MJJ]

And hopefully the last one for this draft.

Dont get you?

 

[Chesterlestreet]

I was talking about this one: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/the-third-redcafe-sheep-draft.411575/page-11#post-18413130

Ah...

Schuster, probably.

 

[Moby]

Dont get you?

It was discussed in the earlier sheep draft that people should refrain from dropping obvious clues as it takes the fun out of the guessing game.

 

[Joga Bonito]

Great pick @Chesterlestreet . Figured you'd gone for another Englishman but Franklin is a cracking pick too.

 

[Gio]

@Gio Albert and Grosics should be on the blocked list, too.

Also, who did Snow, MJJ, The Stain go for in round 2?

Snow - Schuster
MJJ - Schuster
The Stain - Redondo

 

[Chesterlestreet]

Great pick @Chesterlestreet . Figured you'd gone for another Englishman but Franklin is a cracking pick too.

Thank ye, sir.

Yes...I was considering multiple Englishmen (and Scotsmen, for that matter), briefly. But Franklin fits the bill for me on several levels, so it was an easy enough decision.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

surprised that Hansen lasted until the final round, great pick @MJJ . We were thinking between him and Johnstone for the first round pick....

 

[Moby]

Johnstone

My favourite pick of the round. Nicely done.

Edit : And Liedholm.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

thanks, we are delighted that we got him
btw @Cal? , i was wrong, thought you have gone for De Gea...

 

[Gio]

surprised that Hansen lasted until the final round, great pick @MJJ . We were thinking between him and Johnstone for the first round pick....

Yeah that was a ballsy effort, well played.

 

[MJJ]

It was discussed in the earlier sheep draft that people should refrain from dropping obvious clues as it takes the fun out of the guessing game.

I dont see anything wrong with that though as no one knew my pick and I didnt know joga's. Was guessing he had picked schuster.

surprised that Hansen lasted until the final round, great pick @MJJ . We were thinking between him and Johnstone for the first round pick....

Thanks, I had kubala,johnstone,schuster,redondo and hansen as my five choices from the start. Glad to get away with one of them.

 

[MJJ]

[ctp]

Snow - Schuster
MJJ - Schuster
The Stain - Redondo

[green_smiley]

[RedTiger]

Well done @Enigma_87 @RedTiger,
a real vote winner there

We were thinking of going with Schuster but decided to take the risk with redondo, paid off.

 

[Cal?]

thanks, we are delighted that we got him
btw @Cal? , i was wrong, thought you have gone for De Gea...

I thought about De Gea, ***+ & ****.

 

[Physiocrat]

I thought about De Gea, **** and *****.

Cal? Remember, don't post about unnamed players

 

[Marty1968]

Who is Vincent Mazzola?

Haha he was Frank Sinatra's uncle...not sure of his footballing abilities. Sure @Tuppet will give him a good write up though...

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Next criteria please!

 

[Skizzo]

Adolfo P. making his return to drafts after a long absence.

 

[Joga Bonito]

Adolfo P. making his return to drafts after a long absence.

Aye, looking forward to him and Valentino Mazzola featuring in this draft.

 

[Skizzo]

Aye, looking forward to him and Valentino Mazzola featuring in this draft.

Cheers. Nice to see Schuster finally getting some love too

 

[Cal?]

Cal? Remember, don't post about unnamed players

Good point...

Next criteria pls...

 

[MJJ]

I thought about De Gea, ***+ & ****.

*** would have been a better pick, although he isnt as good as *****

 

[Cal?]

*** would have been a better pick, although he isnt as good as *****

Not sure about that, lots of ppl dislike *** here

 

[Cutch]

*** would have been a better pick, although he isnt as good as *****

Don't think either have any right to be in an all time draft at this stage though.

 

[Skizzo]

That was the thinking behind this round - to shine the light on some of the great players, mostly from pre-European Cup or pre-TV age, who qualified because there were fewer international games, because they played for multiple national teams, or because they were mavericks who fell out with the NT boss. And at the other end you had the chance to bring in an emerging star from this generation.

Been a couple of great criteria in that regards so far. Both have left the option open for managers to go with obvious picks or dig for some gems of a lesser known variety.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Cheers. Nice to see Schuster finally getting some love too

Finally? He's been there prominently past 4 or 5 drafts!
